The input signal can be a sine wave or any logic level (≤2VP-P). There are four members of the family that differ in their output logic signal type as follows: LTC6957-1: LVPECL Logic Outputs LTC6957-2: LVDS Logic Outputs LTC6957-3: CMOS Logic, In-Phase Outputs LTC6957-4: CMOS Logic, Complementary Outputs The LTC6957 will buffer and distribute any logic signal with minimal additive noise, however, the part really excels at translating sine wave signals to logic levels. The early amplifier stages have selectable lowpass filtering to minimize the noise while still amplifying the signal to ...
